Left school at 13 due to dyslexia which was somewhat an unknown at the time I was said to be lazy and could do better.
Wifey B: With reading as my field of concentration and expertise, this is a topic I hold as very important. Even in today's world, so many know so little. I didn't feel adequate in solutions and assistance even with my PhD, so set out for more training. I started to love the chance to teach kids and their parents and other teachers about "The Gift of Dyslexia." There is something that accompanies it in terms of creativity and higher level thinking that is amazing. Computer programs have sure eased assisting Dyslexics. Most people don't realize the famous talented Dyslexics from Albert Einstein to Leonardo da Vinci.
I'd ask that each of you reading this, just look briefly at the page I'm linking to as if you've not been close to Dyslexia, you'll see it in a whole new spectacular way. I found every person I worked with who had it proved to have some very special skills. I'm happy you persevered and found yours in spite of the lack of knowledge when you were young.
